I just rediscovered this joy the other day, and I spent the day driving around & listening to my favorite music while hunting these down at various stores. I definitely recommend engaging with a childhood interest again if you can; it brought me such a pure and simple form of joy that I haven't felt in a while. I guess I thought I was too old to be doing this and that I had to spend my money on practical stuff, but then I remembered we're all just here on the planet to have fun. Any sort of little mission I can go on with an objective to locate something is always fun to me as well. I felt like I was on a quest to various Targets & Walmarts. People online have also cracked the product codes so you CAN figure out which pet you're getting if you don't want to waste your money, but the surprise is super fun as well. They're super cheap, like $3-$4 a piece. The search for them was the most fun part, but looking at them on my windowsill is also very cute.

These little pieces of plastic are a staple of any childhood. Very unfortunate that these have to cost so much nowadays, but that is a price needed to be paid in order to put these cuties in a little basket
10/10 some are ugly, some are cute, all expensive

nobody irl has ever understood me the way she does before. i dont have to explain myself to her, but she lets me anyways because it makes me feel better. she has the most wonderful interests and the most vibrant personality, and she likes hearing about my interests, and whenever i talk to her about anything there's such a feeling of understanding. i called her one time in tears over something i struggle with due to autism that was negatively impacting me, and she told me how beautiful it is that my brain works differently and she wouldn't change a thing about me. i kind of downplayed it in my head until she called me crying a few days later over almost the exact same thing, and it really made me think about how if i can feel that for her, she really could feel that for me. i wouldn't change anything about her, and she truly gets me in a way that's so difficult to explain. she just understands me. im seeing her this weekend for an extremely belated valentines day celebration and im very excited :]

ive been struggling on and off lately with depersonalization. i have to remind myself who i am, what i like to do, what my interests are, etc. ive been making kandi for around 7 years, so i found that what helped me most was making a messy single solely out of accent beads that i felt represent parts of myself or things that i like. i hope that anyone else who struggles with this can be inspired to do something similar. make an art piece, a sticker collage, a moodboard, a jewelry piece, anything that represents you. you are your own person, remember that and love yourself for it 💚
